Okay, here is what I found after hacking around my system...
I found access.conf in /etc/httpd/conf/. There are quite a # of
configuration files there. The file to edit for "user
authentication" feature is not access.conf, but access.conf-dist
(there is a comment in that file for .htaccess). I changed the root
directory path from /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs to
/home/httpd/html/htdocs.
I also changed the AllowOverride None to AllowOverride AuthConfig. I
then create a directory called htdocs at /home/httpd/html. In that
new directory, I created a file called .htaccess and entered the
following lines.
AuthName restricted stuff
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/httpd/users
I created the user file via
/usr/sbin/htpasswd -c /home/httpd/users vtan
and entered a password.
I then went to my IE4.01 browser and entered the following URL.
http://viper.cwcu.org/htdocs/index.html
I was not asked for a user name or a password.
Can someone help me?
TIA
